You can apply the Disposition application control policy rule to RIM value-added applications only. Other application control
policy rules do not apply to RIM value-added applications.
Example application control policies
Blocking all third-party applications
When the Disallow Third Party Application Download IT policy rule is set to True, it prevents BlackBerry® devices from
downloading third-party applications over the wireless network. It does not remove existing third-party applications from
the BlackBerry devices. You can set a default application control policy to block all third-party applications from running on
a BlackBerry device.
When you assign the application control policy to the user, the third-party applications exist on the BlackBerry device, but
they cannot run. If the user tries to install additional third-party applications, the installation is unsuccessful and the
BlackBerry device displays an authorization failure message.
Block all third-party applications
1.
In the BlackBerry® Manager, on the Software Configuration screen, click Manage Application Policies.
2.
Create and name an application control policy.
3.
To remove all existing third-party applications from the BlackBerry device and prevent the BlackBerry device from
installing any new third-party applications, set Disposition to Disallowed.
4.
Select a software configuration.
5.
Click Edit Configuration.
6.
Apply the application control policy to the default third-party applications for all BlackBerry devices, or to a specific
BlackBerry device series.
7.
Click OK.
Permitting specific third-party applications
You can use a default application control policy that blocks all third-party applications.
To permit specific third-party applications to run on BlackBerry® devices, you can register those applications in the shared
folder and apply a new application control policy that permits only those applications. When users try to download third-
party applications to their BlackBerry devices, the devices add only the allowed applications.
To prevent users from deleting permitted third-party applications from their BlackBerry devices, you must set the application
control policy to permit the application as required, instead of optional.
